The true follower of Kriya Yoga is the highest yogi, and Kriya Yoga is the greatest yoga technique ever developed in man’s search for the Infinite. -Paramhansa Yogananda

Paramhansa Yogananda, author of Autobiography of a Yogi, taught Kriya Yoga as part of a comprehensive spiritual path.

In this introductory class, Chela shares wisdom garnered from years as a meditator, disciple of Paramhansa Yogananda, and a teacher at Ananda. Come be inspired about Kriya Yoga and how it could transform your life and spiritual journey.

Learn how Kriya Yoga offers a step-by-step path to deep inner peace, spiritual awakening, and direct communion with the Divine. Whether you’re new to meditation or seeking to deepen your practice, this class is a perfect starting point

Enjoy a casual conversation about the Soul’s spiritual journey and how to make spiritual progress, based on the teachings of Paramhansa Yogananda.

The great Self-realized master Paramhansa Yogananda’s mission was to bring this ancient science to the modern age. Kriya Yoga might be the MOST practical way we can do this because it not only changes us on the inside, it also finds expression in our daily lives. Kriya Yoga helps us calm our reactive processes so that we gain a sense of self-possession and inner joy despite outer circumstances.

We will discuss: 

  • What is our Soul nature and how can understanding this help us spiritually progress?
  • Kriya Yoga: A path and a technique
  • Opportunity for questions about the spiritual path

This discussion is an introduction to the path of Kriya Yoga, it does not teach the Kriya Yoga technique. It introduces the steps involved in this great path and their benefit to our spiritual journey towards Self-realization.

These teachings are non-denominational. People of all faiths participate in Ananda.
